Why are you asking RCS file format questions on the CVS list? > I understand a lock entry would have following format: > Id : num > where id is the lock owner, person who has exclusive access to the file > and num is the revision of that file. Correct. > The strict field is more misteryous to me, I didn't find any > specification of format or anything. The format is just the word "strict" followed by a semicolon. If it's there, it means that strict locking is in effect and vice versa. Strict locking (in RCS) means that the owner of the file is not allowed to check in a new revision without having locked the file just like any other user. I suggest you look at the RCS man pages, particularly rcsintro, rcs, and rcsfile. -Larry Jones Buddy, if you think I'm even going to BE here, you're crazy! -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
